Oil prices just dropped sharply because the US paused its military strikes against Iran, but with Trump now bringing the leaders of Israel and Ukraine to Washington, the chances of sudden geopolitical escalation are spiking again. This creates the perfect setup to buy oil on the cheap before the market prices the risk back in.

## Idea

The market is treating the pause in Iran strikes as lasting peace, crushing oil prices and dragging bond yields down with them. However, the upcoming high-stakes meetings at the White House highlight that the underlying conflicts are entering volatile new phases rather than resolving. If any of these diplomatic discussions break down or unexpected tensions flare, the current drop in oil prices will look like a massive overreaction, making this the ideal moment to buy oil while it is temporarily out of favor.
